The Social Impact of Fat Shaming on the Development Children: The Pregnant Man

Introduction

As a child, I'm more than certain that you have witnessed many forms of bullying, especially directed towards those who are overweight, or noticeably heavy. Most of this form of social isolation happens when we are children, but that doesn't change the fact that it leaves emotional scars on those who are ostracized. They're interesting part about being overweight when you are a child, is the fact that you are almost allowed to be picked on. When you are an adult, it seems to be okay to be any size that you want. Disregarding your health, or personal appearance seems to also be running adjacent to carrying out the same actions that have been negative and detrimental to those you used to pick on when you are a thin small child. 

Can a Man get Pregnant?

The short answer is yes, but its a pregnancy that can in many cases, can last indefinitely!  A man's "baby" is one that is comprised of dead muscle fiber, fatty tissue and compacted fecal matter! Not sure who is going to nurse this one...The fact is at some point during our time from childhood to adolescents, the desire to maintain our health and weight can sometimes begin to dwindle. What are some of the reasons that cause this condition, and why is it so prevalent?  Genetics can play a factor, but your general upbringing will also attribute to a growing waist line. Primarily for specific groups of men.  As some of us grow into adults, our ability to earn income and maintain what is known as a comfortable lifestyle definitely does draw away from other aspects that used to be important.

          When you are a child going up, I'm pretty sure that if you were not the overweight one among your peers that you were being ostracized for being overweight yourself. As an adult, if you have had a chance to get into shape, lose any extra pounds carried on from childhood, you will find a lot of the same people who harassing you have put on more weight then was acceptable when you were children. Many adults to not see their growing waist lines as a problem, but it causes underlined issues for themselves those around them. This is now leading to an effect I call, the Pregnant Man.

Attitude

Social norms and the effect of complicated issues that come with the responsibility that is required for raising the next generation of youth.  As a child, speaking up for yourself in situations you don't understand can be difficult. You don't have the size, stature or intellect to rival the control measures of an adult. This leaves you in a venerable position, and puts you at a critical disadvantage.  Bullied, or fat shamed children get unwanted attention from their social network. This includes, class mates, teachers , siblings and even parents.  In their opinion, they're waistline and growing male pregnancy belly is simply a part of life. This is not the count their baldness and any other detrimental factors that they are assuming is normal. It is unacceptable for a child to be obese, but for an established adult who used to be an acceptably fit and healthier child, is not allowed to, how do you say; let themselves go.  The attitudes of adults who are carrying extra weight is simple. They simply do not believe they are doing anything wrong, and if they are then it is something that everyone else is simply supposed to accept.

Having more money is great; until its not...

Healthcare

The combination of the lack of drive, and the availability of foods that are not even supposed to be eaten, lead to a detrimental snowball effect. Essentially, waste is not passing through the colon correctly, and the abdominal muscles start to break down as the pancreas and liver become damaged over time. This is due to delicious treats, fast food and everyday social norms that most people don't understand are extremely dangerous. Simple actions like having drive-through meals on your way to work before defecating will have long-term detrimental effects on your waistline. But if you also have a career, a place to travel to and the finances to do so, then of course this concern is going to be a secondary matter. Divisible signs of an unhealthy person also means that you can be very certain to spend more time going through the Healthcare System than others who take better care of themselves. These choices made by adults are a hindrance for the rest of society, and put a very large strain on other resources that can be allocated towards educational or physical activity factors that would eliminate the problem at once. 

Social Impact

Fat acceptance is a new social norm that is used to hide the underlined issues of childhood teasing, and in fact perpetuates my initial point. It is OK for adults to be fat, the social, financial and emotional reasons vary, but children are always the target of what is known as "fat shaming". There have been many reported cases of adults advocating for bullied children, but this is to their own benefit, and the problem will always persist. 

          The social impact on the lives of children who are affected by those who ostracize them for being overweight, especially those in power like adults who are overweight themselves can be long lasting and detrimental. In many cases, they'll end up being permanent psychological conditions that lead to other issues that of course the government will have to pay for. I'd also like to imagine that a lot of those adult government officials all have giant beer guts themselves!  Adults will speak openly about the personal appearance of a child, but it is not socially acceptable for anyone to address an adult for their size and lack of healthcare. Especially when it addresses their weight. Instead; like I mentioned, when you get to a certain age you are supposed to be proud, and accept the same behavior that ostracizes children. The reason behind this can be very complex, but they stem from societal norms based on how parenting is viewed by others. A child who is deemed to be overweight or unhealthy, is looked at as a failure by the adults around them, which only causes more issues and isolation. But of course, eat as much as you want and grow into the size of a house when you pass 30.

Conclusion

The point is, you are only allowed to be a fat person when you are an adult. Children, and vulnerable members of the public will always be the to target of abuse from those in power.
